OIL, THURSDAY, August 22, 1912 JOHN RUSSELL. l i A couple of weeks ago, we re- lieeived a letter from New Ontario ,eondemning with no uncertain :sound the Writings and teachings :of Pastor Russell, whose sermon- iiettes are now running in this gliafier. Only a week or two pre- fvious, a man and his wife, writ- .‘ing from a western town, spoke very highly of the same Pastor Russell, whose works they had ,been reading and studying for six years with much satisfaction to themselves. We have some ac- .quaintance with both writers, and 'have always regarded them as good-living people, high in their ideals, and good Christian charac- ters. We asked for opinions on these sermonettes when the first one appeared, and we are pleased to haveresponses to our enquir- ies. We have since noticed news- 'psper criticisms, which go to show that Pastor Russell’s teach- ing is at variance with the ortho- dox churches of the time, sad as s religious controversy might frow out o! the publication at thusrflclssitisnotonrintsn-; tic-toastinssthsnmmf' Mr. and M18 Adam Robertson.
